A major fire outbreak has gutted parts of the Kasoa New Market, destroying property worth thousands of Ghana cedis. The incident occurred on Sunday evening, sparking panic among traders and residents in the area.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing flames spreading rapidly through several shops. Firefighters from the Kasoa and Weija Fire Stations were deployed to battle the blaze. Despite their swift response, multiple shops and goods were lost. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has begun investigations to determine the cause of the fire. Officials are assessing the extent of damage and compiling reports for affected traders. Early accounts suggest electrical faults may have contributed, but confirmation is pending.
Traders expressed grief over the destruction, lamenting the loss of investments. Community members praised the firefighters for preventing the blaze from spreading further. Calls have intensified for improved fire safety measures in Ghana’s busy markets.
While property losses are significant, the absence of casualties has been welcomed as a relief. Authorities continue investigations to prevent future occurrences
